Welcome new Hunters!

Hunt: Showdown 1896 is now on PlayStation Plus, giving you unlimited access to the thrilling world of the mountains and the bayou set in 19 ^th century America. You’ll need to investigate Clues, find the Boss Target, kill it and extract with the Bounty… all while trying to fight other monsters and enemy Hunters hidden within the stunning landscapes. You’ll die with nothing or get out with everything. Are you ready to find out, Hunter?

Free Starter Pack
To kick things off we have a Starter Pack, Among Crimson Shadows, available via PlayStation Plus rewards. If you are a PlayStation Plus subscriber, you can claim this for free!

Available exclusively during the “Blood Testament” Event, this Starter Pack allows you to play as Hex Breaker, a man who has fought evil far older and far worse than the Corruption and lived to tell the tale.

The Bloodthirsty claim to want to stop the Corruption infestation in the bayou and the gulch, but their depraved habits only seem to spread more violence, chaos, and despair. Hex Breaker has set himself against these fiends. Take matters into your own hands with this Legendary Hunter, Avatar, and Blood Bond Pack today!

This Bundle contains:

• Hex Breaker (Hunter)
• Hex Breaker (Avatar)
• 550 Blood Bonds

Top Tips for New Visitors
To help you on your next Mission, we’ve put together a list of some top tips for new visitors to the bayou. For even more info about the game loop and detailed tips and tricks, check out our Player Guide here.

• Targets: Banishing a Boss Target or Wild Target will restore all Health Chunks for you and your team. It will be much needed, as when you banish a Target, your location will be visible to all others on the map. Keep your wits about you and be ready to defend.
  
  
• Healing: If you’re new around here, you might find that you need an extra hand to heal quicker . Make sure to equip your Hunter with Regeneration Shots, First Aid Kits, and Traits that will offer the proper support. Some Traits—like Surefoot—can help you run away from danger while using a First Aid Kit at the same time.
  
  
• Outsmart your enemy: If you see a downed Hunter, their corpse will always fall in the opposite direction from where they got shot, meaning you can work out where the enemy is hiding by seeing which direction the downed Hunter’s feet are pointing.
  
  
• Environment: The buildings across all maps have been designed with holes, openings, and cracks in them which you can shoot through, giving you an advantage over other teams.
  
  
• Birds: Watch out for crows and ducks—they will fly in the opposite direction that you ran into them, potentially giving your location away to enemy Hunters.
  
  
• Audio: Hunt is all about audio! Use your ears to listen to shots and cues of the environment, also make sure you do not make too much noise yourself.
  
  

And lastly, whatever you do…do not shoot or stab Immolators!

Partners
Hunt has a wonderful community and a huge part of what makes that is our Partners. Their channels are full of top tips, the latest news in Hunt, and sneak peeks into what’s coming next.

For newcomer top tips, we also have compiled a playlist from some of our Partners which you can check out here.

We look forward to welcoming new Hunters from PlayStation Plus this month! If you’ve got friends who have PlayStation Plus, make sure to remind them and buddy up with them in the bayou (you can play together if you’re both on console!)

We’ll see you in the bayou.
